I got a question about DVD in general. I want to know how long the data(the movie) on a DVD can last? I have read many different answers between 10-15, 20-30, 50-100 years It seems that know one knows for real and all has different opinions on the matter. But do anyone know what the real answer is, if you keep them save from scratches and sunlight how long do the movie last on a DVD?
